A fashion retailer in Europe engaged in a review of its technology landscape to address outdated systems, improve governance, and manage rising costs. The programme centred on assessing current capabilities and defining a future-ready architecture aligned with business growth objectives.

      The challenge

      • The current systems are outdated and lag industry standards. They struggle to handle peak demand and cannot support future growth
      • Unclear ownership and inefficient planning were leading to project delays, budget overruns, and frequent changes in scope
      • Slow recovery from problems, uncoordinated monitoring, and lack of proper performance testing expose the system to operational risks
